Re: Automatic in A
John LaVoy has started a series in his Model A Times magazine about installing an automatic tranny in a Model A. The Fall 2020 issue is the start of the information.

https://fordbarn.com/forum/showpost....8&postcount=22 I think one reason that this automatic / engine combination works is that the Model A has a 200 cubic inch engine with alot of low speed torque. Some folks have a bad experience because they use small engine which has to be revved up so high before it makes any usable torque. Last edited by Benson; 12-13-2020 at 08:35 AM. |
